coffee: How to use a French Press

 

This is a follow up of my post: "Coffee" - here's how to brew the best coffee using a French press.

Using a French press to brew coffee is a method that will preserve the oils better than traditional drip brewers. This is how you use a French press.

1.              Cold and filtered water is recommended. Use 2 tablespoons of coffee to 6 fl oz of filtered water. Heat the water to about 195-205 degrees F

2.              The coffee beans should be a coarse grind. Remove the plunger, and add the warm water. 

3.              Let sit for 4 to 5 minutes 

Plunge the grounds to separate the water from the coffee, and serve.
